7.62 x 39mm (.311) 123gr Spire Point

These are great in both my Russian SKS and my Canadian Enfield No4Mk1*. Have found that Alliant 2400 (14 grs and 16 grs respectively) works great in both cartridges.

About .44 Caliber Bullets

Built for power and proven on the game, the .44 caliber bullet is a favorite among revolver shooters who want real energy on target and dependable reloading results. The .44 Magnum and .44 Special share the same .429 diameter bullet, so reloaders get one projectile that works across plinking loads, hunting loads, and full-house magnum loads. Berry’s Superior Plated Pistol Bullets deliver the quality and consistency reloaders count on across every .44 caliber bullet weight.

History of the .44 Caliber Bullet

The .44 Magnum traces back to 1955, when Smith & Wesson and Remington built on the heavy .44 Special handloads championed by shooter and writer Elmer Keith. Keith spent years pushing the .44 Special past its factory limits, and his work convinced S&W to lengthen the case and release the .44 Remington Magnum alongside the new Model 29 revolver. That slightly longer case keeps a magnum round from chambering in a .44 Special gun, a safety detail that still matters at the bench today.

The cartridge earned fame on screen as the most powerful handgun in the world, but reloaders know it as one of the most flexible rounds ever built for a magnum revolver. It fires .429 diameter bullets and feeds a wide field of platforms, including the S&W Model 29, the Ruger Redhawk, and the Super Redhawk. The .44 Magnum also runs in a lever-action .44 Mag rifle like the Marlin 1894, which turns one caliber bullet into both a magnum revolver round and a short-range rifle cartridge. The milder .44 Special uses the same .429 caliber bullet, letting shooters tune recoil and muzzle velocity to the task.

Our Range of .44 Caliber Bullets

Berry’s stocks several bullet weights for .44 caliber reloading, each tuned to a different role:

.44 (.429) 240gr Hollow Point

The 240-grain Hollow Point is the do-it-all .44 caliber bullet and the weight most load data is built around. It balances controllable recoil with strong terminal performance, which makes it a smart pick for self-defense and general range work in a magnum revolver.

.44 (.429) 240gr Flat Point

The 240-grain Flat Point is the workhorse target round. The flat meplat cuts clean holes in paper and rings steel with authority, and the standard 240 gr bullet weight keeps load development simple since most published recipes start here. It is an accurate load choice for high-volume practice.

.44 (.429) 220gr Flat Point

The 220-grain Flat Point is a versatile .44 caliber bullet designed for consistent performance in magnum revolver applications. Its flat meplat profile delivers clean, repeatable impact performance on paper and steel, making it a reliable choice for target shooting and general range use.

Benefits and Use Cases of the .44 Caliber Bullet

The .44 caliber bullet covers a wide range of shooting roles thanks to its broad weight range and deep power characteristics.

Self-defense and protection: A 240-grain load at moderate muzzle velocity gives revolver carriers proven stopping power without the punishing recoil of a top-end magnum load.

Big bore power and heavy applications: For shooters working with heavy revolver loads, full-power magnum applications deliver strong momentum and deep penetration characteristics. Shooters comparing plated bullets to traditional cast or other bullet types will find Berry’s provides consistent dimensions and clean performance when matched with proper load data and firearm setup.

Target shooting and practice: A lighter bullet reaches higher velocity with less recoil, which keeps long-range sessions comfortable. Reloaders can also tune the same projectile for different results, since charge weight and seating depth change accuracy and grouping from one grain load to the next.

Why Reload with Berry’s Plated Bullets

Berry’s plated bullets provide reloaders a balance of cost efficiency and consistent performance compared to traditional cast lead bullets. The copper plating reduces barrel fouling and minimizes exposed lead, resulting in fewer cleaning sessions after high-volume revolver use. Tight weight control from bullet to bullet supports consistent loading and more uniform downrange performance.

Each bullet starts with a precision-swaged lead core for uniform density. That core is electroplated with copper, forming a bonded surface that fully encapsulates the lead. Bullets are then re-struck to maintain tight tolerances on diameter and length. Every .44 caliber bullet is inspected for dimensional consistency and plating uniformity
